Father can be an enemy to the country

Capriciousness is a common problem among kings, whether they are big kings or little kings, and Silunfa is no exception.

After initial contact with the Ming army, the negotiations reached a deadlock.

Silunfa always insisted that he was submitting rather than surrendering, and the Ming army had to give him corresponding treatment.

Otherwise, even if your army starves to death, fights to death, or jumps from the mountains to death, you will never surrender!

But the Ming army ignored him, and the situation became stagnant.

Unlike Silunfa, who was worried about gains and losses, the Ming army's attitude was very clear, either to lay down their weapons and surrender unconditionally; or to wash their necks and wait for the imperial army to wipe them out.

Yunnan has many mountains and few roads, and traffic is blocked. The only passages are blocked by more than 200,000 Ming troops. The Ming army could indeed do what they said and wipe them out completely.

And the Ming army also has this determination! Zhu Zhen and Mu Ying worked hard to lure Silun's 300,000 troops into the country. How could they let them escape?

In fact, including Dao Silang's 50,000 and Si Xingfa's 20,000, Silunfa brought in a total of 370,000 horses.

These 370,000 people are almost all the young and middle-aged men in Luchuan Kingdom.

If they are all left behind, the behemoth of the Luchuan regime will instantly turn into unprotected fish meat, which will then be put on the dining table and enjoyed to their heart's content.

In fact, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention, it was to ask Silunfa to plead guilty, surrender, cede territory and pay compensation, send hostages to Beijing, and then dismember the Luchuan Kingdom into several chieftain territories to completely eliminate its threat, and that was about it.

So if nothing unexpected happens, the subsequent development of the matter will be very different from what Silunfa expected. No matter what happened in the middle, he will always be able to preserve his territory in Luchuan. Of course, forget about Myanmar...

But the problem is, there is an extra six here. History went in the other direction.

With the help of the prince, Zhu Zhen has convinced Boss Zhu that as long as Silunfa can be completely defeated, Luchuan will be set up as a princely vassal state, and part of the vassal state's land will be used as fiefs and enfeoffed to meritorious ministers.

Later, at the suggestion of the prince, Boss Zhu expanded the scope of the enfeoffment and linked the fiefdoms with military merit. In this way, not only nobles but also ordinary soldiers could get fiefs.

This kind of disguised order of favor can not only prevent the nobles from being defeated in the future, but also greatly inspire the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely, allowing the Ming army to maintain strong combat effectiveness.

Therefore, for the long-term plan of the old Zhu family, it is better that this so-called Luchuan Kingdom no longer exists.

~~

However, the stalemate did not last for a few days before the Luchuan Army surrendered unconditionally.

In fact, the previous problem has not been solved, only the person who caused the problem has been solved.

That day, Sirenfa and his son were eating chicken in the cabin and discussing the current situation in vain. Suddenly there was a bang and the closed door was suddenly pushed open.

Then he saw Dao Siyang walking in angrily, carrying a knife.

"What are you going to do?" Silun's hair stood on end, barely keeping calm, his eyes drifting to the door, wondering what those damn forbidden soldiers were doing.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you want to use my brother as a scapegoat?!" Dao Siyang shouted: "You want to put all the responsibility on my brother and tell the Ming army that in Luchuan Kingdom, it is our brothers who really have the final say? Is it us? Are you determined to attack the Ming Dynasty? You just couldn't help it, were you coerced?"

Silunfa's expression changed drastically when he heard this. This was something he had conspired with Dao Ganmeng.

The reason is simple. In order to reduce his guilt, he must find someone to take the blame, so the dead swordsman is a perfect fit. Considering that Dao Siyang and he were brothers, there must be some resentment between them, so it was better to let the two brothers take the blame together.

He didn't even tell his son about such an absolutely confidential matter, so how did Dao Siyang know about it?

"Who started this rumor? Dao Ganmeng? Where is he?!" Silun asked loudly and guiltily: "Let him come to see me!"

"Your Majesty, I'm here." Dao Ganmeng came in from the outside and said with dignity: "I told Dao Siyang about the matter, but I didn't spread any rumors. I dare to swear to God and Mother Earth that if there is even half a lie, I will Tell me to become a pig or a dog, and I will never be reincarnated." After a pause, he asked coldly: "But do you dare?"

"Why do I, the king, swear such an oath?" Naturally, Silunfa did not dare. The Luchuan Kingdom believed in the Southern Buddhism and firmly believed in the theory of reincarnation. He could not risk his life for the sake of telling a lie. .

"If you don't dare, it means it's true!" Dao Siyang pointed his sword at Silunfa and said bitterly: "King Dog, my brother tried to protect you from becoming the king, and my eldest brother died for your loyalty. You Is this how you repay us?"

"There is a misunderstanding here, don't worry first." Silunfa comforted Dao Siyang and looked anxiously at the door.

"Your Majesty, don't look at me. The imperial soldiers have already withdrawn." Dao Ganmeng sneered, "You have already betrayed all your relatives."

"What?!" Silunfa couldn't hold himself any longer and cried out: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! The king's forbidden soldiers are absolutely loyal to the royal family!"

"But I am also a royal. I am the adopted son of the great Sihanfa!" Dao Ganmeng straightened his back and smiled proudly: "Everyone thinks that you, a sinner of Luchuan Kingdom, are no longer qualified to be the king. So all the Xila forbidden soldiers have already pledged their allegiance to me!"

"You! You are worthy of a bastard like a little servant!" Silunfa immediately became furious and roared: "You damn rebellious traitor has never had a good heart from the beginning. I am so blind that I still treat you as a human being." Loyal minister!"

At this moment, Tu Qiong Dagger saw and Dao Gan Meng's plot was already very clear. During the Battle of Dingbian, the reason why he supported Silunfa's decision to withdraw the forbidden troops was because of today.

Silunfa's bet on the fate of the country failed, how could anyone in the country not hate him? Even those Xila forbidden soldiers are no exception. They are the most loyal and fanatical supporters of Dai people. Once they think that Silunfa is no longer qualified to lead the Dai people forward, they will abandon him without hesitation.

At this time, the imperial soldiers guarding the royal family will become the key to determining the ownership of the throne.

If possible, the imperial soldiers would not let Silunfa's son take over. How do you expect others to be grateful to them after you have crippled me? I'm afraid that when people secure their positions in the future, they will be liquidated later.

Moreover, the Dai people are not as strict about succession as the Han people. As long as they are members of the royal family, regardless of uncles, uncles, nephews, or even adopted sons-in-law, they are eligible to snatch the throne. It all depends on whose fist is stronger.

In this case, there is no more suitable candidate than Dao Gan Meng. Not only was he the prime minister of Luchuan Kingdom with high moral character, but more importantly, he had protected them on the battlefield just now.

After gaining the allegiance of the forbidden soldiers, he betrayed Silunfa and roped him into being a swordsman, and everything happened in secret. Although it is unexpected, it is reasonable.

"Of course I am a loyal minister, but I am a loyal minister of Luchuan, not yours." Dao Ganmeng finally declared boldly: "The foundation created by the great Sihanfa will be destroyed by you. So I must Stand up, replace the faint king, become the new king, and make Luchuan great again!"
