Chapter 236: Ming Dynasty is a Land of Etiquette(1/2)
Chen Liulin suddenly found something was wrong.
He studied since childhood and knew very well about Central Plains culture.
The Ming Dynasty was known as the supreme country of the Celestial Empire and had always been kind to others and would never make things difficult for foreign envoys.
It is precisely because of this that he dared to speak righteously and often acted very tough.
In the past, no matter whom you met, whether it was the Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Rites, or the cabinet, even if you met the emperor, you always showed no humility or arrogance.
Because he knew that the tougher he was, the more he appreciated him, and called him the backbone of a scholar.
On the contrary, the more humble you are, the more people look down on you.
Another reason is that the other direction regards itself as a country of etiquette, and they will first reason with whatever they do. Generally speaking, as long as they do something wrong, they will often not deny it.
For example, this time, the Ming army entered Annan without any warning, and was already at fault.
Although the Prince of Jing'an once sent someone to Qinghua to meet the king and expressed his attitude to mediate the war between Annan and Chameng, of course, His Majesty the King would never agree.
Because Annan Kingdom has had its advantage, it can completely conquer Champa in less than three years.
At this critical moment, how can we reconcile!
As for the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty, they naturally could not be offended, so Annan Kingdom introduced the decoction technique!
I don't agree or refuse, let's drag it on first.
What else can you do if Champa is destroyed for two or three years?
At that time, at most it will be a warning, but so what...
But unexpectedly, if someone failed to persuade him, the army would be over!
Not even a warning...
After learning the news, Chen Liulin was shocked.
He never expected that the Ming Dynasty, which had always claimed to be the supreme kingdom of the Celestial Empire, would be so unfair!
So, I hurried into the palace to ask for an explanation.
In his original expectation, this matter was originally wrong with the Ming Dynasty.
As long as you enter the palace with a dignified attitude, the other party will know that the reason is wrong and will definitely find a way to comfort him. At that time, you will be tougher and argue with reason. If necessary, you will scold him on the spot. At that time, the other party will be overwhelmed by his own righteousness.
If you surrender, you will be ashamed, and it is also possible to withdraw directly.
At that time, I will become the hero of Annan Kingdom.
But unexpectedly, although ideals are good, reality is far from the same...
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty did not follow the routine and was aggressive as soon as he met, which actually pushed all the root of the problem back to Annan!
It is true that King Li Sicheng of Annan has been a bit arrogant in recent years.
This person not only regards himself as an emperor, but also calls the Ming Dynasty the Northern Dynasties and Annan the Southern Dynasties, which means being equal.
However, even if there is anything wrong with Annan Kingdom, you can issue an order to reprimand!
If you do something wrong, your elder brother always has to persuade you with great sincerity. If the persuasion is fruitless, you will consider taking action.
As a result, the other party gathered 100,000 troops and started to fight without saying a word. If this war was not done intentionally, no ghost believed it!
What else are you talking about now? Let King Annan take the thorns and apologize? What are you kidding?
Do we Annan people want to be faced?
Chen Liulin could roughly see that his responsibilities were probably going to be completely over.
Since they have been planning for a long time, no matter what reason they find, this battle can be fought.
Now, it is time to end your mission and return to your hometown. Since then, Annan and Daming have no chance of repairing it.
Thinking of this, Chen Liulin couldn't help but feel angry and said with his head raised: "Since His Majesty the Ming Dynasty has made up his mind, the minister has to decide to return to China tomorrow. At that time, he will have to meet on the battlefield!"
Zhu Qizhen didn't reply because he had nothing to say.
He didn't know whether he should laugh directly or say something to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Seeing that no one answered, Chen Liulin thought that his righteous words had a deterrent effect, so he continued: "Although Annan has lived in Nanyang for generations, he respects Confucius and Mencius. From the king, all of them are well-written. Today, the Ming Dynasty conquered our country.
, Annan's armored men also had 500,000 people, with thousands of good generals and soldiers. Now that your Majesty has made up his mind, his subordinates have nothing to say, so they have to fight each other. The king of our dynasty
Since the great cause of our ancestors, we have worked hard to govern. Now Annan is strong and powerful. Let’s see who will win.”
Since there is nothing to talk about, of course I have to say a few harsh words before leaving. This way, after returning to China, I will be considered an explanation.
Zhu Qizhen felt very funny and asked, "So, is Annanguo planning to go all the way to the dark?"
At this moment, Chen Liulin suddenly showed a frivolous smile on his face and said, "Have you forgotten the old story from thirty years ago?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qizhen's face finally became gloomy and said coldly: "I am not in the mood to argue with you. Tomorrow, someone will escort you back to China. As you said, then, the winner will be decided on the battlefield!"
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Chen Liulin was still neither humble nor arrogant, nodded and said, "From the view of me, Your Majesty is still wise, but compared with the king of me, Your Majesty is not as wise as in the end. My Majesty is extraordinary and decisive in killing, Your Majesty is far away
It's not too late. On the battlefield, what we rely on is not the number of troops, but the wisdom and strategy of the commander. Perhaps in his lifetime, when the ministers meet His Majesty again, they will no longer be envoys of the lower country, but the king of the superior country, but the Southern Dynasty
The envoy, seeing the Emperor of the Northern Dynasty! These words of the subordinates may be a bit rude, but they are also heartfelt words. I hope to forgive the offense!”
This was not a nonsense. Chen Liulin was indeed very confident about his monarch.
The north of Annan, the place where the junction with the Ming Dynasty was separated by a hundred thousand mountains.
As a result, it was not easy for the Ming army to enter Annan to fight.
What's more, Annan has deep forests, and the Ming army is not familiar with the terrain and is easily ambushed by Annan's army.
To take a step back, even if the frontal battle is not the opponent of the Ming army, you can retreat to the city and turn to offense and defense.
Annan is no longer the same as before. Several main cities such as Qinghua City and Shenglong City have high walls and deep pools. It is not easy to break the city!
In addition, during this period, Annan's territory has expanded to the south by nearly 30% and extended to the hinterland of Chameng. The rice here is ripe three times a year, and logistics support is no problem at all.
The time, place, and people are the same as the Ming army!
Because of this, Chen Liulin spoke very confidently.
Since I am going back to China, it’s better to just disgust them.
His reliance was because the monarch and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were bound by etiquette and law, and he was the identity of a state envoy. No matter what, they would not do anything to them.
"I have said this, I will say goodbye..."
"I'll sue your mother!"
A figure suddenly flew out and headed straight for Chen Liulin.
Chen Liulin was bowing politely, and a flash of eyes suddenly appeared.
This man's hair was clustered with a bunch of hair, and his clothes were burned several big holes, and his whole body emitted a burnt smell, like a beggar on the street.
Chen Liulin was a little confused. During the years in the capital, he had been in contact with high-ranking people every day. He had to be polite and orderly. Where did this guy come from? Why did he curse people when he spoke?
Then...
Bang!
Beilin has a bad temper. Seeing this person showing off his power in the hall, he could no longer hold back.
Just a foreign country envoy, the emperor doesn’t want to pay attention to you because of his identity, not because he is afraid of seeing you!
Seeing this person being rude and humiliating the Ming Dynasty, how could he bear it?
He then punched him and headed straight for the door.
Chen Liulin only felt that his eyes turned dark, his body tilted and fell to the ground.
Bang!
"Ahhhh!"
The first sound was a punch in the face.
Immediately afterwards, the second sound was the sound of the back of the head hitting the floor...
Chen Liulin's eyes turned dark, and at the same time, severe pain came from the bridge of his nose and the back of his head, and he couldn't help but howl.
Beilin stepped forward and rode directly on Chen Liulin, punching him again.
Bang!
Chen Liulin's left eye was swollen and she wailed: "Who are you and why did you hit me..."
"It's you who beat me!"
The small universe in Belin's body exploded completely, and he swung his old fist, beating Chen Liulin so hard that he cried and called him mother.
"I am an envoy...How dare you..."
No matter what, he never expected that his dignified Annan envoy would be beaten by someone riding on him.
While beating, Belin also said, "You have been unhappy for a long time. If you don't beat you to death today, I'm sorry for what you said just now!"
To be continued...
