People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 418 The final negotiation! The first Nanyang country to be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty!
After listening to Fatty Officer Wai's words, everyone felt that it made sense.

The Ming Dynasty can achieve such good results now, which is absolutely inseparable from Chen Han's reforms.

Therefore, the common people participated in this action one after another, and the whole world began to take action.

Daming is actively preparing for war in full swing, but the situation in Nanyang is exactly the opposite.

Wang Bi led more than 5,000 people to capture the capital of Majapahit.

Such an achievement was achieved in less than two months, which shattered the views of Majapahit and the others.

In fact, Majapahit's relatives approached Wang Bi half a month ago and wanted to negotiate.

And that negotiation can also be said to be very funny.

First of all, these people are not negotiating for territorial disputes. The main content of the talks is actually how to ensure their interests in the future.

Secondly, the shamelessness of these people shocked Wang Bi again.

If he and others were in Tula's position, they would probably go even further.

To put it bluntly, sometimes the Majapahit army could not defeat the enemy, so they would go back to fight the local people and serve as meat mats at the front. As long as the soldiers on the opposite side had some conscience and could not bear to attack the people, that would be their chance to counterattack.

The very bad thing about Majapahit's army was that not only did they not pay for the food and grass they collected along the way, but they also had to ask the people to transport it to the front line voluntarily. If they encountered an enemy attack, these innocent people had to act as death squads and cannon fodder. Stand tall in front.

The consequences of this are also very obvious. This tactic obviously cannot be used often, because after the enemy sees through this trick, everyone they encounter on the battlefield, whether they are civilians or soldiers, will be shot to death.

Majapayi's relatives probably also heard about this situation. Seeing that there was definitely no room for maneuver in this war, they immediately gave up their blind resistance, and then began to make their own little calculations.

At least Tula and others did not criticize the people harshly on the battlefield. Even though the collection of food and grass along the way sometimes did not go so smoothly, they did not directly pull the village chief out and chop off his head to threaten the people to hand over their only rations. , but this kind of thing is commonplace in the eyes of Majapahit's army.

According to the Ming army, we serve as soldiers to protect the people from being harmed. Now if we take the initiative to harm the people, are we still human? Do you still deserve to be called a soldier?
The Ming army respected their own status very much. Even if they died, they would never let the common people rush to the front. In this way, they quickly won the favor of the people of Majapahit. The people found that the Ming army not only would not put their own Food rations were taken away, and money was even left behind when buying food.

At that time, Wang Bi, under the leadership of Tula, had once again captured several Majapahit cities with overwhelming force.

So you can imagine how much the people hated these Majapahit troops.

Although officials within Majapahit were condemning Tula's treason, the people where Tula had gone through were very understanding of Tula and others.

This group of shameless people will even hide among the people and launch surprise attacks on the enemy.

You must know that they can even restrain the army, let alone those officials.

Now seeing how the Ming army abides by military discipline, I suddenly thought how great it would be if the king of this army came to rule us.

This is a mind-attacking technique that Lan Yu and the others are very good at using.

They are not interested in the people of Majapahit, nor are they interested in the future and destiny of this country. The only thing they are interested in is how the Ming army can protect its own interests.

To review this negotiation, we have to go back to half a month ago.

Therefore, in the subsequent wars, Wang Bi and the others did not encounter any decent resistance at all, and the soldiers of Majapahit did not jump out of the cracks in the rocks. After they heard their relatives say how kindly the Ming army treated the people of Majapahit, Many people were moved and surrendered one after another.

This resulted in innocent people being killed.

In fact, the common people don't care much about who will be their ruler, but who makes them live better is definitely their original intention to maintain this ruler.

Negotiations began on this.

Now under the constraints of the Ming army, it is impossible for the army to let the people rush to the front.

The representative of Majapahit was also a relative. He first stood up and said: "We are surprised that the Guangxi army can attack so smoothly. Of course we admire your power, but since we are negotiating as two countries now, Then I hope you can abide by the application we submitted. We don’t care how your country treats our citizens, but you must treat us royal relatives according to our requirements!”

After hearing what they said, Wang Bi asked back: "None of the requests you submitted included how to treat your citizens. Are they not the people of Majapahit?"

Unexpectedly, the representative of the family's relatives immediately said: "My lord, you are also an official, and I heard that you are also a marquis. You should understand that people of your level and me, who would take ordinary people seriously?" , now that you have agreed to our request, we will immediately let the soldiers cease fighting. Even those who are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, we can let them come out and disarm. In this way, you will have a lot less trouble. Why not do it? ?”

Wang Bi and the Ming army generals nearby were a little surprised after hearing this.

This is a negotiation on behalf of two countries. This is not done by a few small forces. Although Majapahit is not a big country in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, it still has a population of about two million. This It's not a small sum, but these guys actually said openly that we don't care how these people live, we only care whether we can live well.

I don’t know, I thought it was just a few firms sitting together to negotiate and do business. How could there be such a negotiating team? Aren’t they afraid that these things would be written down in history and they would be scolded?

However, the people who watched these negotiations didn't seem to care at all, which surprised Wang Bi.

Of course, the most important thing was that he didn't expect that there were actually several clauses in it, such as retaining their land and manor, and even the slaves in the manor could not be confiscated.

They also wrote that they would retain their privileges such as not paying taxes and not doing corvee.

When he saw these articles, Wang Bi almost tore up their credentials. Why would the Ming Dynasty use this piece of land after they conquered it? Are you here to be your servant? I also need to enshrine these things to you.

So to be honest, Wang Bi came here this time purely to see how shameless these people were, not to negotiate with them.

So as soon as he got up, he realized that these people were really shameless, and they were still so shameless.

Wang Bi and the translators and officials beside him were all angry. Wang Bi asked back: "I have read the credentials you submitted. It lists the privileges that you should retain. I want to ask you, what on earth are you doing?" Thought?"

When Wang Bi said this, his tone was full of contempt. Any normal person would be able to tell that Wang Bi was very disdainful at this time. However, these relatives seemed to be out of their minds and did not understand the meaning of Wang Bi's words. , and even explained it very shamelessly:
"That's right, sir, you must know that our family here has a history of at least a hundred years in Majapahit. We have rich connections and prestige. After being married to the royal family for so many years, we have already achieved control over the people. To put it bluntly, we just don’t want the people to suffer from the war. Otherwise, we will never sit down at this negotiation table, but lead millions of people to fight with you on the battlefield. "This. The words were so lofty, a civil servant next to Wang Bi immediately retorted: "Since you have such high prestige and are so loved by the people, why do you not have any terms in favor of the people's requests? Instead, they are all about how to ensure your advancement." Conditions for a good life?”

This question was very tricky, leaving the relatives across the street speechless for a moment.

Yup!

Since you are so tall in the eyes of the people, why do you not provide any guarantee conditions for the people? Is this your majesty?

If you are all a bunch of these people, it will be difficult to convince people that you have a high reputation among the people.

The common people are not fools, and there is no way they would kneel down and lick a group of powerful people who don't take them seriously.

this……

This……

The relatives on the opposite side were speechless for a moment. After a long silence, the representative of the relatives finally choked out a sentence: "You don't have to worry about how we drive the people away. Even if we use coercion and inducement, there will always be people who do it." We're going to die. We have plenty of ways to get them to fight with you!"

"It turned out to be coercion and inducement!" Wang Bi laughed and deliberately raised his voice.

This deliberately raised voice sounded so harsh to the ears of the relatives.

Although they are now at an absolute disadvantage, they, who are in high positions, cannot tolerate others being so dismissive of them, so a relative slapped the table and stood up: "Even if we don't have such a high reputation in the country, even if we It is also our ability to use coercion and inducement to make people become cannon fodder. In short, we have many ways to make those stinky people die for us. We have millions of people who are willing to die for us. How many of you are there? We know that your Ming Dynasty is very powerful, but don’t forget that the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles away from us, Majapahit. There is a saying in your Ming Dynasty that is very good - water far away cannot quench the thirst of the near, so we are willing to die in order to save fewer people. Sit at the negotiating table and negotiate, otherwise, even if we continue to fight, we are not afraid!”

clap clap clap...

Wang Bi applauded this impassioned relative: "It's so well said. It's a shameless example!"

The relatives turned red with anger after hearing this. Just when they were about to get angry again, the door suddenly opened.

When the relatives turned around, their expressions suddenly changed. It turned out that there were dozens of representatives of different classes standing behind them, including scholars, peasants, businessmen, and especially the common people.

At this moment, the eyes of the people were as if tigers had seen their prey and wanted to rush up and eat them.

"Why are you on the edge...what qualifications do you have to be here..."

"Yes! This is a negotiation site. You all get out! Get out of here!"

"Isn't it too unreasonable for Mingguo to do this? The negotiations between the two countries are top secrets. How can ordinary people eavesdrop on them?"

These people probably realized the seriousness of the matter and began to shout inwardly.

But Wang Bi didn't say much, but looked at the angry people behind him: "Now you know what your senior officials are helping? They don't even care about the lives of millions of people, how could they? I care about you people in the capital."

These words are extremely inflammatory.

Sure enough, the people outside became even more angry after saying this.

"Dog officer!"

"A bunch of shit?"

"In your dreams we won't risk our lives for you bitches!"

"You bunch of bitches, you still know that this is a negotiation between the two countries. What you are talking about now is all about your own interests. You don't mention a word about how we ordinary people will deal with it. You are really worthy of us, and you still You want us to fight for you, how can you have the nerve to say such a thing!"

It turned out that when Wang Bi received the letters of credence submitted by his relatives, although he was angry, he did not deny the negotiation. Instead, he was very good at making a fuss and directly found the people of the capital and people from all walks of life, and asked them to Listen outside to hear how these foreign relatives negotiate.

The effect now looks very good.

It is estimated that once this incident spreads, there will be no need for the Ming Dynasty to continue attacking. The people will welcome the Ming army. It is impossible for the people to be so stupid as to become their pawns.

"you……"

"You Mingguo are so despicable!"

"This is a negotiation between two countries. What do you mean by bringing these people in?"

"Aren't you afraid that people in the world will turn their backs on you when you do things like this?"

"You are not negotiating at all!"

Several relatives came forward and explained to the people:
"Everyone, you must not listen to their words. We are here to negotiate mainly for the purpose of armistice. As for these Ming people, we are saying this just to paralyze them. You must not care too much about diplomatic rhetoric. If you are fooled, I really fell into their trap and it will ruin the country’s affairs.”

The people simply didn't listen.

"Of course you say that when we are here. If we were not here, would you still admit what you just said? Don't deceive yourself. You have long wanted to use poor people like us as your tools in exchange for your privileges. "

Some people also said directly to Wang Bi and the others: "Masters from the Ming Dynasty, we will never fight for such relatives. We are willing to surrender. We just want the war to stop. As for how you deal with these people, that is your freedom. But we think it’s better to kill them, otherwise we don’t know what evil deeds these people will do!”
