A Timely Wife

Li Ruosong and Xiong Ruoshan chatted for a while. For people like Anping, Li Ruosong admired people like Anping, regardless of their standpoint. Things and people draw up different plans, imagine the results of various possibilities, and then make different responses. Fortunately, this person is not a scheming person, otherwise it is really hard to say what the situation is now.

Anping no longer wanted to delve into the question of who was probing whom just now. Faced with a few people who did not play cards according to common sense, Anping could only deal with it with full energy. Before convincing the Emperor of Southern Chu to let him coordinate Anping, who is still somewhat confident in the sixteen southern countries, is already starting to feel a little worried.

Li Ruosong didn't talk to Xiong Ruoshan for too long. He felt that what he said before was enough to attract Anping's attention, so he said to Anping: "His Royal Highness Anping, our emperor of Southern Chu is here now, what do you want?" You should be able to say it now."

Anping got up quickly and said: "Is it my subordinate just now, please don't care about me, Your Majesty."

Xiong Ruoshan said with a smile: "Prince Anping is serious. We are all for the good of the people in our country. There is no right or wrong. Each has his own position. I don't know if Crown Prince Anping has any plans for the future. If there is , we can now ask each other for advice.”

"Don't dare to be, dare not be, I'm ashamed to say, how old is General Li, and I'm not as thorough as General Li in doing things. Hearing the emperor ask each other for advice really makes me blush. In fact, I don't have any good ideas, just a little In my humble opinion, I would like to ask you to give me some guidance, if there is something inappropriate, please forgive me." Anping said slowly.

Xiong Ruoshan replied: "Prince Anping is polite."

This is the meaning of asking Anping to say it directly. Anping naturally understands it, so he no longer continues to be polite. He knows that this is the test for himself. If what he said later is correct, the previous calculation is still possible. Sex, if what is said is wrong, or the idea is not right, then all the previous calculations can only be ideas and cannot be realized. Anping will never allow this to happen.

"Your Majesty, I have some thoughts about the situation in Nanjiang. Since the Emperor is gracious and willing to listen to what I think, I will tell you bluntly today. General Li arranged for our group to come to Nanjiang Mansion in this way. I think that Originally, there was an idea to tempt us people. Although the inferior people knew that this was the purpose of General Li, they jumped down willingly. It is also because there are indeed many things that attract us in today's Southern Chu.

But many things in this world are very interesting. The richer Southern Chu is, the more comfortable the people’s lives, the more coveted people will be attracted, and the more enemies will be attracted. I’m sorry to say that according to the current military strength of Southern Chu, It is indeed very difficult to defend the people of Southern Chu and the territory of Southern Chu.

Leaving aside the sixteen countries in the south, Dahe itself is not a good place to get along with. In addition, the interior of Southern Chu is not stable. In recent years, many people have defected to Dahe one after another. Not only did they take away all their wealth, some people even took away part of their technology. I feel that your country is not completely ignorant. The reason why you are so calm is probably because you have another reliance in your hands.

No matter how powerful Dahe is, they have a fatal weakness. There are few people. The current soldiers are all recruited by force, and they have almost no combat awareness. From the public opinion, Nanchu does have an advantage over Dahe, but at present, this advantage has no substantial effect on Nanchu. Even if these soldiers are unwilling to be forced to charge like this, they will still charge forward. As for What happened in the future, that can only be said later.

This kind of alliance has never been based on who has a good friendship with whom. Presumably the emperor, General Li, and Dean Cheng also understand this. There has never been any relationship between countries, only friends of interests, especially those of us. In a country, we have always listened to whoever is stronger. To put it more bluntly, we can only listen to whoever is stronger.

Dahe is still not at the end of his strength, and Nanchu can't say that he still has more strength. I feel that both Dahe and Nanchu have reached the most critical point. It depends on who is more skilled. We have more than ten people in the south. The country, I can’t guarantee anything else, people still have a little bit, if, let me say that if the sixteen countries in the south can gather [-] elite troops and are willing to help Nanchu attack Dahe, Nanchu can give these more than a dozen countries in the south What kind of return? "After Anping finished speaking, he stared closely at Li Ruosong's eyes.

Because of Anping's words and Anping's actions, Xiong Ruoshan and Chengdong also looked at Li Ruosong, and Li Ruosong said very calmly: "Now you have no qualifications to negotiate with me, and you have seen the situation in Nanchu. , I have felt that, as the crown prince of Anhe Kingdom, you should understand how easily the things that Nanchu possesses make people's hearts flutter. Protect your current life?

In other words, the sixteen countries to the south of you actually have no initiative at all. Whether to negotiate peace or not, the initiative is in our hands. Compared with combat power, you have more elites than us, but you and I understand Well, the coalition soldiers are nothing more than a mob. Each of you countries has its own calculations. I don’t think you can be twisted together. It’s too easy to separate you. We can even let you go without a single soldier. You countries are in civil turmoil, among other things, your Anhe country is not so peaceful, your father seems to have done things that make other countries disgusted, if not, people like you would not be in a hurry to go Looking for a backer, for you, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, you will not be willing to rely on others. Nanchu is decades ahead of you, you can see this, but you don't want to give us all the power, with all due respect , where in this world does such a cheap thing come from, and you want to enjoy and want power, if you have it, tell me, and I will do it too.

His Royal Highness Crown Prince Anping, when negotiating this kind of matter, especially when it comes to the development direction of the two countries in the next few decades, I personally suggest that you should be able to think about the problem in a down-to-earth manner, rather than trying to grasp it from the beginning The right to take the initiative. When I talk, I say half and hide the half. I am actually very impatient to guess the meaning behind others. If you have to guess this kind of thing, I guess everyone guesses, there is no need to continue talking , because there is no way to talk about any results.

You are not the only candidate for us. You know this well. To be blunt, if we can’t discuss anything with you, we will soon find another person to continue the discussion. As for the people in your country, the hot air balloon You have been on it, and you should be very clear. According to the weapons you have now, there is no way to take a hot air balloon. If we arrange people to take a hot air balloon to drop some propaganda on your side, do you think your own country’s How long can the people last?

I'm not threatening you, but just talking about the facts. These things can't be avoided no matter now or in the future. I think His Royal Highness Anping Crown Prince also understands the pros and cons of this. I think you will definitely not be able to handle it. Since it has been consumed for a long time, no matter whether it is weapons or population, you have no advantage at all. If you are like this, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me? "

Li Ruosong said coldly.

Anping sighed for a long time, and said: "Actually, I don't mean to talk about conditions. After all, I am the crown prince of Anhe Kingdom. Of course, I understand how attractive the things that Nanchu can provide to the common people now. However, it is not enough for a country to only have ordinary people, there are many families and nobles, there are many groups that are more important than the imperial court, and there are many existences that we cannot persuade. If Nanchu can't pull me together at this time Come on, I think the Anhe Kingdom can almost be destroyed."

Li Ruosong heard the words and said: "We Ming people don't speak dark words. What His Royal Highness Crown Prince Anping wants to do and how we need to cooperate, you just say it directly. Don't go around in circles. The more you talk, the more you will deviate from the topic."

Anping smiled wryly and said: "What else can I ask for? I don't ask for it. The common people can solve it easily. As long as you tell them the situation in Nanchu, no one will give up a good life and live a hard life there. However, we royal family , What should the nobles do?

It is absolutely impossible for us to live a hard life like ordinary people, but I know it is even more impossible for us to live the life we ​​used to.

I don't dare to make any demands. There was a battle just now, and both sides are still suppressing their anger. Even if I make a request, it will not be now, let alone now. I dare not think about other things, and I will not think about them. In fact, I just want a guarantee from the emperor. After the people from the sixteen countries in the south surrendered to Southern Chu, what should the dignitaries and royal families of these countries do with them? "

Hearing this, Li Ruosong frowned and asked, "Is this question His Highness Crown Prince Anping wants to ask, or does someone need His Highness Crown Prince Anping to ask it on their behalf?"

Anping waved his hand and said: "No one came to me. This is a question I have to ask. In fact, I don't care what kind of life I will live in the future. However, if this problem is not resolved, the trend in the south will definitely not go according to everyone's expectations. According to the expected development, General Li may not be aware of the threat these people can bring, the more ignorant the place, the greater their threat."

Li Ruosong nodded, and said: "I can understand what His Royal Highness Crown Prince Anping said, although I don't necessarily agree with it. In this way, since His Royal Highness Crown Prince Anping can raise this question, he must have already prepared a draft. How about talking about yours first?" suggestion?"
