People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 408 It turns out that the relationship between countries is purely based on interests! !
The moment Tula saw the general of the Gonya City garrison committing suicide in front of him, his heart was very painful and his heart was bleeding.
Because this General Gongya is really a very good general and a very principled person.
Just like what he said, even if he knew the shamelessness of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, even if he knew that those people just wanted to use the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in exchange for a negotiation condition on the negotiating table, General Gongya would still think in his heart. Tell yourself that they can be shameless, but I cannot follow them. If I follow this shamelessness, then what is the difference between me and them.
So he had no other choice, he just killed himself.
He wanted to use his own strength to relieve all the defenders who were desperately resisting at this time, because if he did not die and he kept holding on, the brothers behind him would have no reason to surrender and would have no choice but to hold on to Gonya City. We can only destroy Gongya City together.
After listening to Tula's words, General Gonya suddenly realized what was he holding on to?
The reason why I am so patriotic and how I guard this city is to guard the west gate and to secure resources in the rear.
Doesn't he know that his own strength, weapons, and fighting will cannot resist the Ming army, which has successively attacked more than a dozen cities?
He knew, but he understood better, what did Gongya City mean to the people of Majapahit?
This is a spiritual monument.
It was a monument-like city built by the kings of previous generations who had killed a very powerful team from Gonya City who had invaded Majapahit here. If this city fell, it would mean that the west gate was completely destroyed. Open to the enemy, there was nothing to hold.
From then on, my country was like a piece of fat in someone else's mouth, and I could bite off it as much as I wanted, so I brought a mere 5,000 troops. Although the military strength was the same as that of the Ming army, in terms of equipment, fighting will, etc. Even though he was extremely lagging behind others, he did not give up and struggled hard.
However, the news brought by Tula shattered all its struggles and all its details.
It turns out that what I worked so hard to protect was not the so-called national existence at all, but just the guardian of certain personal interests.
At this moment, all his beliefs collapsed, so he had to die, otherwise he would be schizophrenic.
And he was using his death to tell the soldiers that there was no need to hold on any longer, because it was actually obvious that the soldiers had already thought of surrendering. It was just because he, the garrison general, had been holding on and no one was embarrassed to mention it. .
Tula looked at the body of General Gonya and knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face. He had been fighting on the battlefield for more than thirty years and had dozens of wounds on his body, but he had never shed tears when he was bleeding.
However, looking at his subordinate who had lifted him up with one hand, and listening to what his subordinate said, he suddenly burst into tears.
Now he only has one thought in his mind, and that is to go back to the capital and cut off all the heads of the civil servants who plotted against them, to let them know that the dignity of a soldier is that he would rather die on the battlefield than die on the battlefield. Backstabbing of one's own people.
General Gongya died in a coward. He could obviously have chosen a more heroic method. He could have led the remaining defeated soldiers in a final charge and died on the battlefield. However, because of what the civil servants did behind the scenes, There is no way to realize the conspiracy, so I can only commit suicide in grievance.
When the body of General Gongya was placed in front of the defenders, the defenders of Gongya City immediately fell to their knees when they saw their general dead in front of them.
Tula repeated what he said to General Gonya before.
After listening to Tula's words, the soldiers understood why General Gonya died.
General Gongya is a principled general. He cannot destroy his will as a soldier because of his glory and wealth.
But he didn't want to see his brothers, who lived and died together, die for the conspiracy of civil servants.
So in order to let everyone surrender without any baggage, he chose to commit suicide.
In this way, everyone can surrender openly.
Tula even said loudly in front of the two thousand defenders and the 30,000 people he brought over, "This is our joint betrayal of the country. Although it is shameful, if we make such a deal for such a shameful civil servant, , it seems that we are even more blind. We can be loyal to the country, but we cannot be loyal, and we cannot die for their machinations.”
Many people will say that if the king wants his ministers to die, they must die. Isn't this an established rule?
But people who say this are simply out of their minds.
People don't stick to rules that much.
This is especially true when you are about to go out and your orders are not accepted.
If you have majesty and reputation, there will be no problem if we live and die with you.
But if you yourself just want to use our lives in exchange for your interests and beauty.
No one is willing to fight for your interests, and no one thinks that since you are the king, I must listen to you.
If you are following the correct instructions and listening to you, then why would you use my life in exchange for your own interests?
Don't think that just because you are a king, you can use your identity to oppress us.
There are no people who are so obedient, and there are no teams that are so easy to command.
If Chen Han knew about this situation, he would definitely use this example to ridicule the authors of female-channeled novels.
He has even seen many outrageous plots, in which a commander who controlled 95% of the country's army was willing to die just because the emperor had a glass of poisoned wine, and before he died, he said tragically: If the king wants his minister to die, he must die.
There is no such fool. For a person in this position, if he wants to be the emperor, it can only be done with one sentence.
Even if he is very loyal to the imperial court, are all the soldiers under him a commander-in-chief? Does everyone have this awareness?
Absolutely not.
It is very likely that while this glass of poisonous wine was still in the process of being sent to the frontier, the soldiers under his command had already put on a yellow robe for the commander-in-chief, and they would definitely tell him that the weather was getting cold, so please put on some extra clothes.
When a person reaches this level, he will not represent an individual. Behind him is a group, which is the benefit of everyone. You cannot commit suicide just because the emperor gave you a cup of poisonous wine.
If you die, our interests will also suffer.
So just like this Tula, those civil servants wanted him to go to the front line and die in exchange for more chips in their hands. Of course Tula would resist.
It's not that simple. I just listened to your order, and then stupidly rushed to the front line, using my more than 100 kilograms to block other people's bullets and shells.
So under the leadership of Tula, 30,000 new troops and more than 2,000 soldiers who were struggling to guard Gonya City jointly raised the white flag and surrendered.
Wang Bi was even stunned for a moment when he saw tens of thousands of people coming out of the city. It wasn't until he saw the soldiers throwing aside their weapons and equipment, and then kneeling quietly on the ground, accepting the review of the Ming army, that Wang Bi finally believed that these people had surrendered.
The five thousand people under his command led by Wang Bi entered Gongya City in a mighty manner.
Then the more than 6,000 people from Sambuchi behind him also came in.
These common people were all here to transport food and grass to the Ming army.
After they entered, they quickly discovered that this city was actually quite luxurious.
This kind of luxury does not mean how much gold and silver was used to decorate it.
Instead, it was built using a large number of strips of stone.
Even Wang Bi himself had to admit that if it was really a forceful attack, although the Ming army had cannons, they would have to pay a price.
The reason why this time was that the defenders of Gonya City were able to be eliminated in a very short time.
It was because the defenders were charging most of the time, which gave Wang Bi and others a loophole to exploit.
So now that they saw this city being taken down, they were extremely emotional.
Wang Bi brought Tula to the city wall.
He wanted to ask this Tula why he still surrendered despite having so many fresh troops in his hands. This was something strange to him.
So Tula told Wang Bi all the causes and consequences.
After Wang Bi listened, he discovered that there was such a struggle among these people, which made Wang Bi a little strange.
Since there is such disunity internally, why do we need to organize such a large-scale invasion war under such circumstances, which consumes all the national power?
Because a country that really dares to invade other countries should not be like a piece of loose sand internally. It is not just as simple as civil and military differences, but even intrigues.
It is very abnormal to abandon tens of thousands of fresh troops for the sake of a little profit on the negotiating table, not to mention that a general like Wang Bi who leads troops in war knows better that an unstable The rear area was simply a disaster for marching and fighting.
Because of the unstable rear, how to provide stable logistical supplies of food and grass?
Soldiers can't really support war with war. For example, when the Ming Dynasty went to the north to fight, most of the time they were in the wilderness of the Gobi. The enemy did not need any strong walls to clear the wilderness to starve your army to death.
The soldiers can't just chew grass, so fighting to the north requires the support of strong national power.
Tula then told the whole story one by one, and then Wang Bi realized that there was a very strange phenomenon.
Generally wars are launched when a country is strong, but this time Majapahit's invasion of Sanviqi was exactly the opposite.
Majapahit has actually reached a very embarrassing situation internally. The current king is not a person who is good at governing the country. He relies on the influence of his relatives, so that the influence of his relatives is too strong later, so the whole country is controlled by the influence of his relatives. control.
They can be said to be unscrupulous for their own interests, and in this case, there is even a phenomenon of collusion with pirates.
As the country's power became worse and worse, the foreign relatives who controlled the country thought of diverting their attention. Of course, they wanted to use Chen Zuyi's group of pirates to infiltrate the entire Sanviqi.
Sanviqi and Majapahit have been fighting over this peninsula for more than a hundred years, and they have already had a deep hatred. The common people complained about the rampant corruption of domestic and foreign relatives. But once it comes to fighting with Sanviviqi, the people of Majapahit It's quite supportive.
This can not only divert conflicts, but also if the war is won, Majapahit will expand its territory and make the cake bigger. In this way, the people will get more benefits and will not notice that they have been It caused great harm to Majapahit.
However, due to some strange combination of circumstances, Chen Zuyi and his group of pirates had been wiped out by the Ming army and the pirate power fell apart. They were even yelled at and beaten by everyone in Nanyang, like rats crossing the street. This forced Majapahit to either change his mind. An An An can calmly fight against corruption and restore a higher prestige to the court, or it will lead to a dark road and continue to implement this plan.
However, the intensity of the plan may be greatly reduced. Without the pirates, they can only rely on the officials within Sanviqi who have been bribed to help them do this big thing.
But the list of those people inside Sanviqi happened to be obtained by others, so they were all caught in one fell swoop.
When the country of Srivijaya knew that some officials were colluding with Majapahit, this war was already inevitable, because too much gold and silver was spent in the early stage to bribe those officials, which led to increasing corruption in the country. If they don't make up for this shortcoming as soon as possible, it will cause more people to be dissatisfied with them, and then there will be an uprising in the country.
Therefore, the war launched brazenly by the foreign relatives was indeed due to internal strife within Sanviqi in the early stage. As a result, all the elite soldiers from the surrounding cities gathered in the capital to fight fiercely with the rebel forces, consuming most of the elites and allowing Majapahit to fight in the capital. In the early days of the war, they took a lot of advantages.
But a problem soon emerged, and Wang Bi could see it clearly: logistical supplies.
The entire Majapahit was in a complete mess. It was probably difficult for them to send their food and grass to the front line, so they were defeated everywhere.
Although the Ming army here had such advanced weapons and could defeat Majapahit's army in the shortest time, Wang Bi never thought that he won this war simply by relying on advanced weapons. In many cases, it was Sanfuqi's army. The people spontaneously formed a team to transport grain and grass, which helped the Ming army win this victory.
From now on, it can be seen that there is indeed a deep hatred between the two countries. In order to support the expenses of the war, ordinary people are able to voluntarily pay for it.
After Wang Bi understood this, he realized that this war was so absurd. Not only the forces of the Queen Mother, the forces of the King, and the officials who opposed the reformists were fighting fiercely within Sanviqi, they even seemed to be fierce and fierce. There is even more chaos within the raging Majapahit.
The fate of the entire country is tied up by the influence of foreign relatives moving forward. How can such a country last long?
No wonder the Ming army was able to fight such a smooth war without any need for conspiracies and tricks.
This is the biggest advantage that the Ming army now has. Unexpectedly, Wang Bi here at this time was very emotional. It turns out that no matter what time it is, as long as the national conditions in a country are unstable, it will be difficult for war. , that would be a disaster.
Especially for those soldiers who go directly to the battlefield, it is a disaster among disasters. They may not be able to keep up with the logistics, and they are likely to be used as bargaining chips on the negotiating table by the forces in the rear. As for the lives of the soldiers, , in their eyes, what does that mean?
